Description
The Air Force Research Laboratory is soliciting white papers for research, development, integration, test, evaluation and delivery of technologies/techniques to provide for the development of real-time processing technology to improve the extraction, identification, analysis and reporting of tactical information. The processed information will support the Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) mission, protect blue coalition forces with command, control, computer and intelligence applications, and support battlespace awareness for the warfighter.
• The SIGINT research and development is grouped into three broad technology areas: Information Extraction, Signal Processing, and Automation Enhancements.
• The first, Information Extraction, extracts information from the broadband signal to identify and catalog Signals of Interest (SOI).
• The second area, Signal Processing, processes the signal to improve signal processor performance for the above information extraction capabilities.
• The third broad area, Automation Enhancements, uses signal processing techniques to automate the manual techniques that are current practice.
